Enduring through the days, Minamoto Tamako got past the rough patch, and her jet lag adjusted back. She was responsible for daytime surveillance and rested at night.
Fushimi Roku remained energetic, even maintaining the scent of his shower gel; he sneaked off for a bath while Minamoto Tamako slept. When night came, he handed the surveillance duty over to Abe Rokuro, letting Abe continue the task.
On the fourth night, Minamoto Tamako was sound asleep with an eye mask on, while Fushimi Roku flipped through comic magazines to pass the time.
Suddenly, his phone chimed—it was a message alert.
He opened it to see a message from Abe Rokuro:
"Suspect showing irregular behavior, has left residence, possibly headed to Shinjuku Street, currently tracking."
Fushimi Roku was taken aback, thinking that perhaps something had gone wrong, yet he found it troublesome; he hadn't finished his comic, so why rush into work?
